Visible Light Induced Sulfoxidation of Alkanes in the Presence of Titania

Nucleophilic benzoylation using a mandelic acid dioxolanone as a synthetic equivalent of the benzoyl carbanion. Oxidative decarboxylation of α-hydrox…

2004

The synthesis of alkyl aryl ketones using a mandelic acid dioxolanone as a synthetic equivalent (Umpolung) of the benzoyl carbanion is reported. The methodology involves alkylation of the mandelic acid dioxolanone, hydrolysis of the dioxolanone moiety in the alkylated products and oxidative decarboxylation of the resulting alpha-hydroxyacids. The last step is carried out in a catalytic aerobic way using a Co (III) complex in the presence of pivalaldehyde under very mild conditions.

A Highly Active System for the Metal-Free Aerobic Photocyanation of Tertiary Amines with Visible Light: Application to the Synthesis of Tetraponerine…

2015

A highly efficient metal-free catalytic system for the aerobic photocyanation of tertiary amines with visible light is reported. The use of air as terminal oxidant offers an improved safety profile compared with pure oxygen, the used compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) light sources are highly economical, and no halogenated solvents are required. This system not only proves to be effective for a wide variety of trialkylamines, pharmaceuticals, and alkaloids but remarkably also allows the lowest catalyst loading (0.00001 mol% or 0.1 ppm) ever reported for an organic dye. Bruylants reactions and C-alkylation/decyanations were performed on the obtained α-aminonitriles to demonstrate the postfunctio…

Comparative chemistry of 18-electron Mo(II) and 17-electron Mo(III) compounds containing only carbon-based ligands

1998

International audience; The chemical reactivity of various kinetically stable isomers of compound CpMo(η3-C3H5)(η4-C4H6), 1, and its oxidation product [1]+, as well as the bis-allyl Mo(III) complex CpMo(η3-C3H5)2, 2, and the bis-diene Mo(II) complex [CpMo(η4-C4H6)2]+, 3, is reviewed. The inertness toward isomerization processes of the allyl and butadiene ligands in the Mo(II) complexes has allowed a study of the relative reactivity toward both electrophilic and nucleophilic addition processes as a function of coordination mode. The dependence of various reaction pathways on the metal oxidation state has also been investigated. Of particular interest is the discovery that the electronically …

A Simple Procedure for Oxidation of Alcohols using [Bis(acetoxy)iodo]benzene and a Catalytic Amount of Bromide Ions in Ethyl Acetate

2015

Primary and secondary benzylic alcohols and secondary aliphatic alcohols were oxidized to the corresponding aldehydes and ketones by using [bis(acetoxy)iodo]benzene (BAIB) and a catalytic amount of bromide ions, from tetrabutylammonium bromide or KBr, in ethyl acetate. The catalytic role of the bromide ions was also highlighted in the oxidation of primary aliphatic alcohols and secondary allylic alcohols carried out in the presence of 1 mol% TEMPO.

Behaviour of the high temperature corrosion of metals (TiAl3) coated with titanium aluminide

2010

During this study, intermetallic coatings TiAlx (x=1,2,3) were performed on titanium substrates: pure titanium and the commercial alloy, TA6V. The aim of this study was to elaborate aluminiure coatings on the surface and characterize the behaviour of these coated materials in oxidation at high temperature under air laboratory, under air enriched with water vapour and with sulfur. The coated materials were tested at three temperatures: 700°C, 800°C and 900°C. The coatings were realized at 1000°C by the pack-cementation process. The coatings realized are always adherent to the substrate. During oxidation the retrodiffusion of aluminium changes the nature of the phases and the organisation of …

The Effect of Electronic Properties of Anodized and Hard Anodized Ti and Ti6Al4V on Their Reactivity in Simulated Body Fluid

2022

The electronic properties of barrier and porous layers on Ti and Ti6Al4V were studied. Barrier anodic oxides grown to 40 V on Ti and on Ti6Al4V are both n-type semiconductors with a band gap of 3.3 eV and 3.4 eV respectively, in agreement with the formation of amorphous TiO2. Anodizing to 200 V at 20 mA cm−2 in calcium acetate and β-glycerol phosphate disodium pentahydrate leads to the formation of Ca and P containing porous films with a photoelectrochemical behaviour dependent on the metallic substrate. A band gap of 3.2 eV and the flat band potential of −0.5 V vs Ag/AgCl were measured for the porous oxide on Ti, while optical transitions at 2.15 eV and a significantly more positive flat b…

CyaC, a redox-regulated adenylate cyclase of Sinorhizobium meliloti with a quinone responsive diheme-B membrane anchor domain.

2019

The nucleotide cyclase CyaC of Sinorhizobium meliloti is a member of class III adenylate cyclases (AC), a diverse group present in all forms of life. CyaC is membrane-integral by a hexahelical membrane domain (6TM) with the basic topology of mammalian ACs. The 6TM domain of CyaC contains a tetra-histidine signature that is universally present in the membrane anchors of bacterial diheme-B succinate-quinone oxidoreductases. Heterologous expression of cyaC imparted activity for cAMP formation from ATP to Escherichia coli, whereas guanylate cyclase activity was not detectable. Detergent solubilized and purified CyaC was a diheme-B protein and carried a binuclear iron-sulfur cluster. Single poin…

Effect of Temperature on N2O and NO Emission in a Partial Nitrification SBR Treating Reject Wastewater

2017

Temperature is a very important parameter during nitritation, having a direct effect on ammonia oxidation rate (AOR) and enzymatic activities which relate to both N2O and NO emission. This study aims at investigating the effect of temperature on AOR, N2O and NO production in an enriched ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) sequencing batch reactor (SBR) performing partial nitrification (PN) of synthetic reject wastewater. To achieve that, a SBR was subject to several shifts in temperature (in the range of 30 to 15 °C, 5 °C for each decrease). Cycle studies, which contain two aeration phases, were conducted under each temperature. The results showed that AOR specific exponentially correlates wit…
